Re: ISU Daily's OP of the behavior at the Mizzou game

Maybe she's offended easily. She should stick to watching the games on TV.

Re: ISU Daily's OP of the behavior at the Mizzou game

Just the quality everyone expects from the newspaper the bored student depends on.

That said, while i dont get offended at the 'you suck' i wish it was just 5 claps. I prefer the simple 'we're giving you the bare minimum of respect, and that's it'. (i also dont like that we started playing music over their intros this year)

Re: ISU Daily's OP of the behavior at the Mizzou game

The feminist part of that angers me. There is no girl that could guard Royce White. Just because the elite womens basketball players could beat average joe schmoes at basketball, doesn't mean they could take elite college basketball players.

Also TL;DR for the article: Student section says "you suck", someone said "dont let the girl guard Royce White", and two Mizzou players made kissy face gestures and other "sexual" gestures at girls in CA.

Re: ISU Daily's OP of the behavior at the Mizzou game

This is a pathetic jounalistic ploy to try and make an average bball game into some kind "hate-filled story". I wouldn't even be bothered by it, except for the feminist thing? Really? I believe it was a crack at him because his name is Kim; not an attack on female bballers everywhere. I mean give me a break. Just Bush league.

Re: ISU Daily's OP of the behavior at the Mizzou game

Does she realize that we don't actually think the player "sucks"? If Harrison Barnes came to Ames he would get the same chant. It's all part of the fun of sports..this is Division 1 basketball, not Junior High. And, girls do have weirder form than most guys do.
